Resisting an onicer-christmas entertainments

Our worthy constable, VIM. Lindsay. met
with a severe accident on the 9th at Elders
burg A crowd of men had collected at Tom
Marsh's store in the village. A negro named
Dutton began cursing and swearing at such a
rate that Mr.. Marsh asked Mr.. Lindsay to
arrest him. Mr.. Lindsay proceeded to do so,
when the negro raised a club with both hands
and struck Mr. l.. very severe blow on the
head, saying he would kill him. The negro
was then arrested on the charge of assault
with intent to kill The case was heard be-
fore Justice J. Frank Shipley, and created
quite an excitement. There was strong talk
of lynching. but it was quoted. The commn-
nifty was very indignant, and it is to be hoped
no bail will be taken for Dutton if rendered.
Mr.. Lindsay is quite sick from his severe cut
on the head and the shock to his system.
The Xmas entertainment at Freedom
Church Xmas night was most excellent. The
chorus by the small children was beautiful,
and so well rendered. The choir sang several
pretty pieces, and Miss Devries accompanied
the choir with the organ. The decorations
were credit to those who lent helping hand.
The Church of the Holy Family, at Harris
onville, was also beaysdfully decorated, under
the auspices of Rev. Father Brandt. A mass
was said there in the morning, with music by
the choir, Prof Wolf at the organ. A pleas
ing entertainment was given there Sunday
afternoon to the children.
A singing school is to be organized shortly
at Freedom, DR.. Phillips as teacher. We
hope old and young will join.

A. J. Devoe, of Hackensack, New Jersey,
predicts that the New Year will open with the
mercury from to 10 degrees below zero in
his section and that the cold will extend far
south. He says a violent snow storm will
sweep along our coast from the 9Th to the Sth,
and vessels should give our Atlantic coast a
wide berth till after the Sth. About the eth
ice dealers should begin to cut their ice. On
the 10th and 18th it will be warm and foggy.
On the 18th there will be very sudden fall in
the temperature, and violent snow storm
will sweep over the country. The average
temperature for the month will be lower than
it has been for the past twenty years.
